I'm not familiar with CoronaSDK, but usually my dev cycle is something like:

• Barebones world (just some land)
• Console output, relevant debug text
• Simple collision/Input
• More complex UI
• Refine World
• Refine UI
• Repeat 5-6 until gold

'World' refers to general features like rendering or audio.
In a production environment normally you have a set of features you're responsible for, so knowing what to work on is rarely an issue (esp. with publishers )

The advantage of working indie is that once things are working on a very basic level, you can decide what you want to do when you want to do it.
If I could offer some advice though, try not to be too jumpy between systems. Lots of bugs happen that way.
